Measuring eye pressure after vitrectomy using different devices

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This prospective controlled study aims to evaluate the accuracy of two portable intraocular pressure (IOP) measuring devices, Icare and Accupen, compared to the traditional Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT) following vitreo-retinal surgery. Participants will have their IOP measured one day post-surgery using all three devices to determine if the newer methods provide reliable measurements. The study seeks to address the need for less cumbersome and portable alternatives to GAT, which has been the gold standard for decades. Previous studies have shown mixed results for these devices, highlighting the necessity for further investigation in a post-operative context.
